This engrossing book, a brilliant blend of biography and criticism, tells the story of Feng Zikai (1898-1975), one of the most gifted and important artists to emerge from the politically tumultuous decades of the 1920s and 1930s. Barmé provides a closely woven parallel history, that of the life of writer-artist Feng, who was also an essayist and a translator, and that of China's turbulent twentieth century. He investigates Feng Zikai's aesthetic vision, its development, and how it relates to traditional and contemporary Chinese cultural values and debates.

Although Feng was known for his so-called casual drawings, he was reluctant to classify his art. According to Barmé, much of his writing and painting was rooted in a philosophy of self-expression. Difficult to position in relation to existing Chinese political and social nomenclature, Feng remains, to a large extent, an enigma. He was sympathetic to the average person and the impoverished peasant, yet he was a romantic, and often identified with the increasingly politicized intelligentsia. A devout Buddhist, he was a close observer of nature and children, and while his art appeared gentle, it often carried a strong message.

Much has been written about Feng Zikai, a figure who has become popular among elite and mass audiences in the Chinese world once more, but no other work has examined his place among May Fourth writers and intellectuals nor his position within the context of China's artistic, religious, and literary tradition. An Artistic Exile moves straight to the heart of debates surrounding modernization, religion, science, the essence of a tradition in an age of colonial modernity, and the ethos of political and social thought in twentieth-century China.

读后感

提到丰子恺，我们的第一印象可能是关于他的诗意风格漫画，还有他的师父李叔同（弘一法师），以及他跟随弘一法师出家等等比较惹人眼球的“事迹”，在图书馆偶遇《逃难的艺术：丰子恺传》，也希望可以借此对丰子恺有一点浅薄的了解。 丰子恺一生也算是历尽坎坷，最终没能等到文革...

——评《艺术的逃难》 文/蓦烟如雪 在《艺术的逃难》中，丰家的亲人让丰子恺不要再画画，他无视家人的反对说，“‘文革’中我承认我的画都是毒草，然而世间有一种人视毒草为香花，什袭珍藏。对此种人，我还是乐意给他们珍藏。”那些年他是‘异类’，但在如今他在世人眼里却...  

家住夕阳江上村，一湾流水绕柴门。种来松树高于屋，借与春禽养子孙。这首诗来自叶唐夫，它曾被丰子恺引用在《护生画集》上。这首诗表达的意境，想必和丰子恺幼时的家乡石门镇有些相似。特别是那句一弯流水绕柴门，画面感特别的强烈。 以往我对丰子恺的了解，多数来自书本上，...  

用户评价

对一个人的研究做到非常细致入微。而且能够很同情之理解地去看待丰子恺作为"the third category"。

Meticulously researched and engagingly written, Barme's work is a model of empathetic biography that allows us to "feel" the subject. An important example and symbol of non-political artistic and literary engagement with the changing historical landscape, Feng Zikai deserved this study.
